Angel Hair with Sauce

Fides are a Greek version of angel hair pasta made with durum wheat. This is a simple recipe made by Jewish grandmothers in Athens. It was quite good and simple to make but the original recipe had too much salt. I would recommend that you don't add any, specially if you are using chicken broth that already has salt in it. Otherwise taste and add salt if necessary.

This dish can also be made with vegetable broth, if you keep kosher you can then eat it with Parmesan cheese.

Meanwhile place the broth, tomato juice, parsley, oregano and pepper in a medium saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the pasta and a tablespoon of oil and stir well, separating the noodles. Cook over medium-low heat until all the liquid is gone, about 15 minutes.
